white gull camouflaged
against the white sugar sand
sparkling on white shell
in magical fashion
white-crested waves
crashing gracefully onto shore
passing through me
with the salty cure
muted subtle hues
calm my mind and spirit
my arms i raise
no wings to lift away with
i fall into the surf
and when all of me is submerged
i feel baptized again
and emerge re-birthed
Beautiful Laura, your words and photos are warming my bones…it’s only 2’C here this morning….brrr..

Haha… I might have a warm heart, but this outer covering has worn out and a bit thin these days….xx
